Just purchased my first wanna get away fare. One of the features I'm hoping to use is the same day change and standby option to get on a near earlier flight that day. I had some questions.
For the same day flight change and standby option, does it include travel to co-terminal airport? For example, if my original destination is San Jose but there is an earlier flight going to Oakland, can I change to Oakland with no upcharge?
Same day flight change lets me change flight on day of travel. If I've already checked into my original flight (done day before), can I still change the flight to an earlier one on day of travel?
They open up the coterminal cities when there is a big delay such as weather system coming through, but I don't think you can change airports under normal operations.
Once you are at the airport they have more power though, I think they can shuffle your destinations there depending on all the factors.
I don't think there is any good option about the origin airport other than people who show up at the wrong one accidentally anecdotally they will try to take care of you. (ORD vs MDW, DCA vs IAD where the airport is literally in the same city - not SJC vs OAK in that case. Houston and Dallas are newer entries to this category and I don't know if they get mixed up or not very often.)
